LRA LEADER KILLED HIMSELF - USA INTELLIGENCE
The latest on Kony is that US Intelligence and government personnel are suggesting that the Juba peace talks be closed because the LRA rebel leader is no more. Sources close to UPDF in tracking Kony's communication have not tracked any correspondences either on radio or satellite communication. Information from within the LRA seems to suggest that he could have committed suicide in the same style as German dictator, Adolf Hitler.

BIRDS FEAST ON KONY'S BODY
Kony in his will to his son he made it clear that when he dies, he should not be buried under the soil but be left above the ground as an Acholi hero. Kony had become so paranoid that he sent away all his 40 wives suspecting they would conspire to kill him. He had accused some of them of sleeping around with his deputy, Otti Vincent.



My response:
I wonder what Kony thinks about these headlines?
Someone still trusts U.S. intelligence?
Also, I love the relationship between large and small type, here. Eye-tracking studies in the U.S. have shown that many people only glance at headlines. Hm, their loss ...
